Obama also said the history of slavery and segregation is QUOTE “still part of Americans' DNA.”He also once again slammed Congress for preventing the gun control bill from advancing. The US President made the remarks on a radio podcast on Monday. The president uttering the word QUOTE "Nigger", however, stirred controversy especially on social media. Barack Obama is scheduled to travel to Charleston on Friday to deliver the eulogy for the pastor of the Emanuel AME Church who was killed in last week's shooting. The slain pastor was a state senator and an early Obama supporter in the 2008 presidential campaign.
